Parallel Linq : PLinq

Parallel Linq is nothing but the extension of the LINQ. It is nothing but the concurrent execution of queries on objects. Its main intension is the data parallelism. Microsoft is planning to include in .NET 4. I am really looking forward for .NET 4 release….infact eagerly waiting… …

PINQ : Privacy Integrated Queries

After LINQ Microsoft Research has recently came with something called has PINQ i.e. Privacy Intergrated Queries. According to Microsoft, Privacy Integrated Queries (PINQ) is not a LINQ provider, but it looks very much like one. Like LINQ, PINQ provides .NET objects which wrap data sources and supporting declarative transformations and aggregations. Unlike LINQ, this is not done for efficiency or modularity, but rather to support the analysis of sensitive data without needing to provide the data itself to the analyst.
One can further read at Microsoft Research site.
It has tutorial page with some sample project.

Google Chrome OS…launching soon…

Previously there were many rumors that Google is coming out with there own OS but now it seems that rumors came out to be true. Google is launching with there own open source OS i.e. Chrome. Its a linux based operating system.

Basic features of Google OS will be light weight, speed, simplicity and most important is security and mostly they are targetting for netbooks. Currently netbooks is fully acquired by Windows XP OS. So definately its a big threat to Microsoft….Anyways lets wait till mid of 2010…..

LinqDataSource Implementation

Recently I got the project of implementing the Linqdatasource for Gridview and it was really a good experience and also got the power of .NET 3.5.

For implementing Linqdatasource, first we need the create the .dbml file i.e. Datacontext File, which will have the mapping of the table in the Sql Server to the Linq.

With the Server Explorer we just need to drag and drop the table and if we want we can define the primary key for that. So datacontext file is created (this is very simple example). If we want to have relation between the table, then we can have that relation also.

Once the datacontext file is created, than drag and drop the linqdatasource and gridview on the design. Click on the gridview and select for the datasource and than select Linq and then in the dropdown list select the datacontext file and rest is very much similar to the normal wizard setup.

After that just run the solution you will see the gridview populated. You can even sorting,paging automatically done without any code written in Codebehind. Also you can have delete and update automatically without writing any code.
You can try to implement its really very easy, handy nd poweful….
